Thermal Stability of Staphylococcal Enterotoxins A, B and C in a Buffered System

Abstract
The heat stability of staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B and C (SEA, SEB, SEC) in phosphate buffered saline solution at a concentration of 100 ng per ml indicated that normal cooking times and temperatures are unlikely to completely inactivate the toxins. The order of heat resistance of the three toxins was SEC>SEB>SEA.
